Wrapper: Bleached Wheat Flour

Bleached wheat flour is made from wheat grain that has been refined to remove the bran and germ. The bleaching process uses chemicals to whiten the flour and improve its baking qualities, making it softer and whiter than unbleached flour. It is a common ingredient in baked goods and processed foods.

Manufacturers use bleached wheat flour as a primary ingredient in many baked goods and processed foods due to its fine texture and baking performance. It provides structure and bulk in products like breads, pastries, noodles, and wrappers.

Bleached wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The bleaching agents used are approved food additives. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have evaluated flour and its processing, but specific health implications related to the bleaching process at typical consumption levels are not a major focus of regulatory review.
